South Carolina athletic director Eric Hyman will go outside the box in his search for a new men’s basketball coach. Not in terms of who he’ll hire — that’s unknown — but in terms of how he’ll find the Cocks’ next coach.

Unlike so many ADs, Hyman will not be hiring an outside search firm to aid in USC’s coach hunt. Instead, The Charleston Post & Courier reports that he will consult “basketball coaches he knows.”

“I’d rather deal with basketball people (than a search firm). Basketball coaches have got a pretty good sense and feel for people. They’ve got a better feel for the marketplace than maybe a search firm would.”

We continue to believe that Wichita State’s Gregg Marshall — a man who’s from the Columbia area — will be high on Hyman’s list… if not at the very top.
